Agate transforms negative energy into positive energy. Agate enhances mental and function, improves concentration, enhances perception and analytical abilities. It is a soothing and calming gemstone that heals inner anger, anxiety and helps in the strengthening of relationships.
Agate helps develop as secondary deposits in hollow cavities, called vesicles. Although they can form in all types of host rock, most of the worlds agates developed in ancient volcanic lava. When the continents were first forming, layers of molten lava pushed towards the earth's surface through rift zone cracks, volcanoes, and other geologic events. Within the lava, there were pockets of trapped gases. Later, these gases escaped through cracks leaving hollow cavities where layers of silica fill these spaces. Druzy occurs when water brings minerals onto a rock's surface. When the water evaporates, cooling occurs, and the minerals are left behind to form crystals on top of the rock.
Agate is mentioned in the Bible as one of the 12 stones that. Corresponded to the names of Israel's son. Each stone was engraved like a seal, with one of the names of the 12 tribes. Every time Aaron or his sons, or any future Levite put on the vestments with the breastplate, they would be reminded of the twelve tribes of Israel. Agate is the 3rd stone on the breastplate.
The Eagle has mystic powers and has had an attraction for humans thousands of years ago. In the Native American Believes, the chief of all the winged creatures is an eagle that is symbolic of power and of man's association with the divine.
The Ancient Egyptian sun god Horus was depicted as hanging the head of a eagle and was important as a deity representing the Pharaoh. Horus played and important role, too, as representing resurrection, being the son of his mummified father Osiris and mother Isis. The Greeks and Romans believed Zeus and Jupiter respectively to be represented by the eagle, in Europe, their use for falconry was typically reserved for Emperors and Kings, which is why the common names for the golden eagle in various European languages roughly translate as the "royal eagle"
Eagles are mentioned in the Bible as being admired for their swiftness, great physical power, and their seemingly endless endurance. Eagles are also widespread in the Bible for symbolism. For example, due to the perceived high level of parental care, eagles were associated with protection.
